優步Uber問題不斷，董事會打算趕走CEO
Uber Technologies Inc. CEO Travis Kalanick is likely to take a leave of absence from the troubled ride-hailing company, but no final decision has yet been made, according to a source.
知情人士稱，優步技術股份有限公司總裁特拉維斯·卡拉尼克可能要離開這個麻煩重重的打車服務公司，休息一段時間，但是公司還沒有做出最終決定。
At the Suday meeting, the company's board adopted a series of recommendations from the law firm of former U.S Attorney General Eric Holder following an investigation into Uber's culture and practices, according to a board representative.
一位董事會代表透露，前美國司法部長埃裏克·霍爾德的律師事務所對優步的文化和業務進行了調查。在星期天的會議上，優步公司的董事會採用了霍爾德律師事務所的一系列建議。
Uber will tell employees about the recommendations on Tuesday, said the representative.
這位代表稱，優步將在週二告知員工這些提議。
Holder and his law firm were retained by Uber in February to investigate company practices after former Uber engineer Susan Fowler published a blog post detailing what she described as sexual harassment and the lack of a suitable response by senior managers.
在前優步工程師蘇珊·福勒公開發帖詳細說明了她所遭受的性騷擾事件並指責優步高層缺少適當的答覆後，優步於二月份聘請霍爾德和他的律師事務所調查公司的業務活動。
The recommendations in Holder's firm's report force greater controls on spending, human resources and other areas where executives led by Kalanick have had a surprising amount of autonomy for a company with more than 12,000 employees, a source said.
霍爾德律所的報告建議，優步要加強對支出和人力資源的控制；在這個擁有12,000名員工的公司裏，對於卡拉尼克有太多自主權的其他方面，優步也需要加強控制，一位知情人士說道。
Kalanick and two allies on the board have voting control of the company. Kalanick's forceful personality and enormous success with Uber to date, as well as his super-voting shares, have won him broad deference in the boardroom, according to the people familiar with the deliberations.
卡拉尼克和他在董事會的兩位盟友對這個公司有投票控制權。卡拉尼克強硬的性格、迄今爲止他爲優步帶來的巨大成功，以及他那具有超級投票權的份額使他在董事會會議上贏得了廣泛尊重，熟悉優步公司審議的人士說道。
Any decision to take a leave of absence will ultimately be Kalanick's, one source said.
一位知情人士稱，關於休假的任何決定最終都取決於卡拉尼克。
The world's most valuable venture-backed private company has found itself at a crossroads as its rough-and-tumble approach to handling employees and drivers has led to a series of problems.
因爲管理員工和司機的方式雜亂無章而引起了一系列的問題，這家由風投支持的、世界上最有價值的私營企業發現自己正處於重大的抉擇關頭。
Uber's image, culture and practices have been largely defined by Kalanick's brash approach, company insiders and investors previously said.
先前，公司內部人士和投資者表示，優步的形象、文化和業務在很大程度上是根據卡拉尼克魯莽的方法界定的。
Uber board member Arianna Huffington said in March that Kalanick needed to change his leadership style from that of a "scrappy entrepreneur" to be more like a "leader of a major global company." The board has been looking for a COO to help Kalanick run the company since March.
優步公司董事會成員阿里安娜·赫芬頓在三月份表示，卡拉尼克需要改變一下他那“爭強好勝的企業家式”的領導風格，他需要更像一位“國際性大公司的領袖”。董事會從三月開始就在尋找一位首席運營官幫助卡拉尼克運營公司。
One Uber investor called the board's decisions on Sunday a step in the right direction, giving Uber an "opportunity to reboot."
優步的一位投資者認爲，董事會在星期天作出的決定是正確的一步，這爲優步提供了一個“重頭再來的機會”。
